Maria added 2 liters of pure water to 8 liters of 48% sugar syrup. What is the concentration of the resulting solution

Answer 1

First, let's find out how much sugar is in the original 8 liters of the 48% sugar syrup.

8 liters * 48% = 3840 ml of sugar

Next, let's find out the total volume of the resulting solution after adding 2 liters of water.

8 liters + 2 liters = 10 liters

Now, let's find out what percentage of the resulting solution is sugar.

3840 ml of sugar / 10000 ml total volume * 100% = 38.4%

Therefore, the concentration of the resulting solution is 38.4% sugar.
